[QUOTE="zand, post: 2125152, member: 85197"] Ooops sorry I posted the previous reply before I had finished. I found out about carb addiction, or what I prefer to call 'carb hunger' on my own by accident. This must be the 6th time I have posted this, so apologies to those who have read it before, the OP obviously hasn't. Several years ago (maybe 13?) I was in the habit of making bacon butties for my son and myself for breakfast. One day I ran out of bread so I gave my son butties as usual whilst I just had the same amount of bacon as usual with a small amount of butter. I was normally starving hungry and snacking at 10 am and maybe once more before I had lunch at 12. That day I worked through till 1 pm without any hunger at all and still wasn't desperate to eat anything then. That didn't make sense. How could I be more satiated by less food? It was such a lovely feeling to be free of that awful hunger that I experimented further and cut out potatoes, pasta and rice. Pastry and sugar had been cut out years before as I was trying to lose weight. So that was my first taste of lower carbing. I very slowly stopped gaining weight and began to lose some. Why do people overeat on junk carbs? Their bodies crave nutrition. [/QUOTE]
